Loch Achray Winter Meet

[Shewie]

I've just fired off an email to David Marshall Lodge about the possibility of another combined BCUK & SOTP winter meet, anybody fancy it?

No idea of a date yet as I've asked them to let me know of any free weekends first, I'm hoping the site will be fairly quiet over winter and we can pick a date to suit the majority.

This thread from September '09 gives a good idea of what went on

 

[Gill]

Me when for buddy.Doh just saw the dont know when yet lol.

 

[Teepee]

Provisionally yes for me unless it clashes with the Rough Close meet in January.

 

[Toddy]

:Good idea :approveL

We've been sort of arranging a Comriecroft 'bushcraft carboot sale', and skills sharing long weekend too.
If the hall's free then we've been told that we can have it very reasonably, and if not, then there'll be the barn that could be used for dry cover.

I think you'd get a lot of interest for Loch Achray though Shewie
I'm not coming, or at least I'm not for camping there though, it's midge central hell for me

cheers,
Mary

 

[Shewie]

Even in winter Toddy? It'll be midge free I hope

 

[Toddy]

I got bitten by a cleg at the end of last October and only the snow stopped the thrice damned midgies
I'm sometimes tempted to try a little bloodletting into a balloon, with one of those wee handwarmers in it, and stand back and see just how many critturs try to munch on me

If mozzies ever get a good grip here, I'm shifting to the East coast where it's dry and windy, or maybe sussing out a no-see-um burka

I know that folks love Loch Achray and the surrounds, but I've had only one day there when I wasn't munched upon; even as a child that area was a misery for me.

Have a brilliant weekend, and take photos

cheers,
M
